From What Date Can a Rent Determination Lawsuit Be Filed Under Article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations (TCO) If the Parties Have Executed a Supplementary Agreement on the Rent Amount?

From What Date Can a Rent Determination Lawsuit Be Filed Under Article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations (TCO) If the Parties Have Executed a Supplementary Agreement on the Rent Amount?

In residential and commercial lease agreements, the parties may execute supplementary protocols or new agreements during the term of the lease to increase or redefine the rental amount. However, this raises an important legal question: If the parties agree to redetermine the rent, when can a rent determination lawsuit be filed under Article 344/3 of the Turkish Code of Obligations? In practice, the answer to this question depends on the legal nature of the arrangement made between the parties. Specifically, it must be determined whether the arrangement is merely a supplementary agreement modifying the rent amount under the existing lease relationship, or whether it constitutes a new and independent lease agreement that replaces and terminates the previous contract...

What Is the Crime of Causing Zoning Pollution Under Article 184 of the Turkish Penal Code?

What Is the Crime of Causing Zoning Pollution Under Article 184 of the Turkish Penal Code?

There are several important concepts that must be considered in relation to the crime of causing zoning pollution. For example, this offense does not arise with respect to every type of structure; rather, the concept of a “building” is of particular importance. Likewise, regarding the industrial activities carried out in buildings that have not obtained an occupancy permit, as regulated under the third paragraph of the relevant provision, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of the term “industrial activity.” Furthermore, since such construction-related activities may also be subject to administrative sanctions, determining whether the conduct in question constitutes a criminal offense is of significant importance...

Objection to Risky Building Determination, Notification of the Risky Building Report, and Other Related Procedures

Objection to Risky Building Determination, Notification of the Risky Building Report, and Other Related Procedures

Under the risky building assessment process carried out pursuant to Law No. 6306, a majority vote of the condominium owners is not required in order to initiate a building risk assessment. The application of a single property owner to a licensed institution, together with the title deed and identification documents, is sufficient. The costs of the assessment are generally borne by the owner who requests it; however, if the assessment is conducted ex officio by the administration, the costs are apportioned among all owners in proportion to their land shares. With respect to the reporting and objection procedures, as a general rule, only one risky building assessment report may be issued for each building. After the report is submitted to the Land Registry, notification is made by posting the notice on the building, publishing it through the e-Government system (e-Devlet), and announcing it at the local headman's office (Muhtarlık). Property owners may file an objection with the Urban Transformation Presidency within fifteen days from the date of notification or bring an annulment action before the administrative court within thirty days. Buildings for which no objection is filed, or..
